Well, Mike Davis has more title games than Bo Ryan.  Lol, no reason for that stat, just wanted to throw it out there.

Not wanting to listen to you guys cry because not everyone loves Crean. 2 wins doesn't change the fact he needs to go.

Try 4 against ranked teams. Yes there have been short comings but if he's as bad as everyone says there would be 0 wins against ranked teams.

You said this week which is why I said 2. That's not true in the least bit. By your logic if he was such a good coach like you say so we wouldn't have lost the games we did to the teams we did nor get killed by Purdue. I can use your logic too. :)

Let's take the $40 million IU was going to use for renovations and see if we can buy Stevens out of his Celtics contract. Or Bruce Pearl 's show cause is up this summer. There's an idea.

Renovations are going to cost more than $40.

That's kind of faulty logic.  Mike Davis beat Tom Izzo, Rick Pitino and Coach K in the same year.  Is he as bad as we say?  Yes.

 

We've played better lately and I'm glad about that, but it doesn't change my opinion of Crean.

There. Fixed it. I was distracted by the dinner call here at the house.

You can't be the reform Coach when you are the incumbent.
But Coach Crean is turning some things around.
Looking better.... Especially in bounding the ball!
Hang tough Coach Crean & Hoosiers!

[JaybobHoosier 11,839]

Well, lol. I've been hard on Coach this season, but the last two games have been a pleasant surprise. I knew all of the teams issues weren't all Crean, because the team just wasn't clicking. The past two games seem to prove that they are clicking right now.

Gives home going into next season.

Honestly, winning these last few games hasn't changed my opinion of him as a coach. Anymore than the year up till then had made me think it was time to fire him. I'm just not willing to put all of that on a small sample size. Whatever I have said on the subject still stands.

The only time I hate this argument is when one side acts like you are not a true fan if you don't give your undivided devotion to Tom Crean.  As well as when the other side gives absolutes such as, "I guarantee you he will not win a title".  Really?  How can one guarantee anything?  Mike Davis was 40 minutes from winning one.  If people would just remember that everyone here is an IU fan.  Just because they don't hold the same opinion does not make them less of an IU fan.  Some have higher expectations, and some feel continuity is the only way to get to those expectations.  Just don't question anyone's loyalty when debating this, as well as follow the rules and the mods are cool.

Yeah, we know. Never let the sleeping dog lie if you have a long enough stick. :banghead:  :)

Crean showed the team a video of the second Joe Louis-Max Schmeling heavyweight title fight from 1938 to motivate his team."To play the way that we did without Noah, which we knew it was a possibility yesterday, we knew it was reality today, we had to answer the bell," Crean said. "We did."

 

Wow, what great coaching! I wonder if he quoted from "Rudy" too. Yawwwwnnnnnn.

Sounds like a post from someone who is so concerned with the embarrassment of being wrong that he can't enjoy a win over a ranked team.

A win by a team that is young, but without any question is developing, improving, and rallying behind each other, their senior leader, and their head coach, Mr. Tom Crean.
